Phones first of all should not be handed to children until they are 18....that's a start

Parental failure also a big issue here, it's unfortunate the turn of events

Nokia torchlight phone at 15 might be okay.

Every internet based activity should be done on the desktop at home, or in a library in school. All computers must have strong filters ( i don master dat one already). There is nothing you can do on earth to open a porn site on my computer. Nothing, except you reformat it. If they catch glimpses of inappropriate materials on their peers phones, at least they would have known their dad has taught them not to go that route. I pray that counts for something.

Any school that wants my kid to be online at every point in time is not for me.

Hopeless set of people.

What kind of parent allows their 10yr old girl or even boy for that matter to travel out of the country without their direct supervision in this time and age? In the name of games... What stupid games? We play a lot in this country!

Just imagine o.

My kids are in their grandmas place within the same Lagos for the Easter holidays and I am feeling very uncomfortable. Then an idiot will send their 10yr old child to Dubai, to do what biko nu?

The kids already have phones at 10 years for what?

After 2023, tsunami would sweep across SW states.

Make we give you some hints.

All shanties, slums and under bridge house would first be the first target to demolish. Those who left their region with just a poly bag would eventually end up in slums.

All fake products would be fished out from SW region. The producers of those fake products risk going to long term jail

We are going to increase Tax of non indigenes across SW states. Indigenes can't be paying same tax with non indigenes most especially business owners.

More policies coming.

Any one not comfortable with all those listed above should relocate back to his region/state.

Just shut up abeg.

Your brain no dey mature ni?

This ESN/UGM thing is complex.

ESN has a camp somewhere around my village. As a result, Monday sit and home is very well observed. But my people are very happy with them because they have removed every trace of fulani herdsmen around the area.

Where would one stand?

Na wah o.

No be dis 2 people dey fight wen make metawale collect governor?

Now, Metawale (abi wetin be hin name) has gone to APC, while the two guys fighting themselves initially have united against him?

Kai. I pity Tinubu.

Dsalvo:
Buhari is outgoing. Go and chew on that fact slowly. What is the profit of those who will do 'abobaku' for Buhari, i.e agree to be buried with the dead and outgoing King, when they are still alive and with future political permanent interests to safeguard beyond 2023 when the always politically disengaged Buhari will step down?

How many times must it be repeated to people like you that what Buhari wants may lead to the destruction of the APC and cost the Party it's place as the ruling Party of the biggest black nation on Earth?

You think many do not know that Buhari's demand is ego driven but self-destructive and impractical for the APC?

How many APC stalwarts do you think retain confidence in the ability of Buhari to lead the Party to victory with Osinbajo or Amaechi, if Tinubu is ostracised and made a vindictive enemy of APC , when same Buhari has lost every election he has contested in till BAT partnered with him?

Let's see sha.

What you fail to understand is that every politician has an ambition. The second term governors want to install a successor and probably go to the senate. The first term governors want a second term. The senators and rep members want to retain their seats or aspire for something better. And each and every one of them have stiff oppositions within their party besides the opposition party. So any miscalculation can see the opposition within the party take vital tickets from them.

When they must have scaled party primaries, they need to win the other party in the election proper. Note that most of our politicians rig to win elections. and you cant successfully rig without the cooperation of the armed forces.

Buhari is the Commander in Chief of the armed forces, and he shall so remain till May 2023, while elections are in February. Again if I am not mistaking, presidential primaries come first before the others. If one has refused the president's appeal for a consensus candidate, do you think such a person has not put his/her own ambition at risk?

Considering all these, no right thinking politician within his party would easily want to be in his bad books except they don't have a choice. Supporting Tinubu cannot be said to be a choice less situation for them.

Do you by any means think any of them will be willing to put their own ambitions at risk because of Tinubu?

Bros, the only thing that can help Tinubu is if Buhari does not have a successor in mind, and i doubt that greatly.

The strength of the APC is the north. Buhari rules the north. No northern governor or politician within APC can defy Buhari.

fyneguy:
Yinmu

It beat Jonathan's power

Come and beat Buhari's own lets see.

You think everyone is a weakling like Jonathan? What do you think would have happened if Jonathan was desperate for power? you think APC would be the ruling party?

Never use Jonathan as an instrument to measure the powers of a president in Nigeria.

sapele914:
I live in VGC, it is 100% true, why do you think VP Osinbajo lost his ward?

I was there @ the polling station, I saw the igbo conspiracy against the VP happen on Election Day from there to the canal to blaze the 420.

The guy I quoted doesn't seem to agree.

marcusaurelio:
Funny as sh*t.. so you think Buhari will influence all the delegates in the whole of the country ? Buhari that was helped into power? He will be foolish to believe that all the delegates will bend to his will at the primaries and mind you if he truly have the power by now you must have known the consensus candidate

Chairman, you no sabi Nigeria.

Nobody can usurp the will of a sitting president in Nigeria on something as critical as a successor. Nobody.

Make we leave am till primaries.

tollyboy5:
Wow!

Why is this ondo man saying nonsense about Lagos.

Most of these people talking trash are senseless people from other State.

Yorubas in Lagos not voting APC as turned to IGBO dominating Lagos.

Na dat one dey pain you? say you hear say Igbos dominate highbrow VGC?

Do you live in VGC?

Urbanchampion:
See formidable squad. The only person in Osibanjo team is ojodudu and his twitter recruits.

Oga, if Buhari does not want tinubu as president, Tinubu's ambition is dead.

No president (especially a fulani) will hand over to someone he is not comfortable with.

You see all these SWAGA activities is an indication that BAT has realized Buhari isn't with him, so he is trying to use his own muscle. And while BAT has a strong machinery, it cant beat the powers of a president in Nigeria.

I dont see it working.

And this is in the front page?

Seun and his mods should be kind enough to tell us when a thread is sponsored so that we can maintain some level of sanity here.

What is the business of an average Nigerian with gburu gburu and his praise singers?

Well said.

Truth is that on this issue of domestic violence, some women can be extremely stupid to the extent that no one can help them.

Too bad.

WibusJaga:


A job well done involves both performing a job well & performing same job on time. So a job can not be said to be well done if it was not done on time.

Simple answer.

Realist12:
In a few more days we'd get to see how Osinbajo isn't a right candidate, as said earlier he's just a pawn and he's risking the little political leverage he has , we all know what happens to pawn in most cases . They get sacrificed. He definitely hasn't had connections to the masses and feels because he's the vice president he has the credibility. This is someone who couldn't even perform with his position as the vice president, how disconnected and shameless could he be ?

My friend Osinbajo has nothing to lose. He is vice president, and the only political position he can aspire for in life within Nigeria is the presidency for which he has only one shot - this. If he doesn't get it, he loses nothing.

He has never played politics locally, and he definitely would not play such after attaining the level of the vice president. So there is nothing like risking political leverage. What will he use your so called political leverage for after being vice president? Atiku is running for president, Jonathan has been president. There is nothing politically for a vice president other than the presidency.

If he wins, he wins if he doesn't, he goes home. Even if he doesn't contest, home would have still been his destination when there tenure expiries. where is the political leverage of Namadi sambo?

For a VP, its either the presidency or home.

Parachoko:
For APC to choose a candidate through consensus, every presidential aspirant must Willing agree to consensus.

I hope you have gotten an answer to your question.

If the president insists on consensus, Tinubu can't stop it. Or you no believe?

Parachoko:
Nah Osinbanjo right to contest.

Tinubu will get majority of the votes in the primary, Osinbanjo, Okorocha, Bello and the rest will share the rest of the votes among themself.

I hope you read the statements of the Lagos APC guy on this thread (https://www.nairaland.com/7074682/2023-osinbajo-pawn-chessboard-seye) ? See the amount of times he said "allow us go to primaries"? Truth is that Buhari will not allow a presidential primary. And that is what guys like Osinbajo and Amaechi are banking on. Tinubu is the only candidate willing to go for primaries cos he knows he will clinch it. But can he get the party to go into primaries against Buhari's will?

I doubt.

beylinko02:
Really? There is no extent that these people won't go to defame this man.

This is just the beginning, more will still come. PYO has what it takes in character, intellect to withstand your assaults.

As much as i would hate to see Tinubu as president, truth remains that what the VP did by declaring is a clear case of betrayal.

Osinbajo is VP today because Tinubu could not deputize BUhari (Muslim/Muslim ticket), but was asked to nominate someone. And he chose Osinbajo. Its like saying "my boy stand in for me". Knowing fully well, that Tinubu's aim was the number 1 seat, why couldn't he forget his own ambition and support the man who gave him the opportunity to be the no 2 man in the nation? A position he would never have attained if not for Tinubu?

Its betrayal. But it is allowed. Tinubu must have betrayed people aswell.

yanabasee:
I want this invasion to continue.... Let this killing reach Asorock in the shortest of time....


Now that they're leaving power, they've let lose the entrance into Abuja...

I hope a Southerner taking power will know what to do...


Close up Abuja, change them from their ranks and replace the southern officials.... Move military and police academy to the south... Then join force to erase the insurgency in their region, if they fight back... break the country for us....

Simple.

evansjeff:
See this crook, and legendary liar, if this country had been functioning properly, this one should be in jail. Let me wait for the first ipig to quote me. Nonsense

i no fit laugh o.

Why talk rubbish when you know you will be quoted for it?

Na to dey swear for person wen go quote you in advance.

Primaries in Nigeria can only be won with money or superior power.

In Lagos for instance, you don't win Primaries with money, it is the superior power (Tinubu) that delivers the ticket to the candidate.

For APC at the federal level, same thing applies. If the Presidency want a candidate, that candidate gets it.

But in the PDP at the federal level, there is no major power block so it is the man with the money that will get what at that level.

There is no gain saying that if presidential primaries are held in the PDP today, Atiku will win it. Wike might have good money as well, but he won't be willing to risk so much because deep down in him, he knows it would be hard to sell him as presidential candidate.

Frigga13:


TINUBU MUST CONTEST
MUST

WE CARE LESS ABOUT party .. he’s name must be on ballot ..

@ the bolded. Even if na UPP?

nairaman66:
This is really a funny one! Customers won’t support you guys, since we are looking for cheap rides and fares. You guys are on your own..

Not true.

Many customers will support. If for nothing else, the customers too have family members that are drivers.

kiddkash:
this is very sad.

Zelensky is not a wise leader. the world knows how powerful Russia is, but the only one that doesn't know is Zelensky.

imagine if it was Nigeria doing something like this to Benin, nothing like sanctions, the world will annihilate us.
but they can't do it to Russia, because Russia is very big and powerful. but Zelensky doesn't know or believe it.

instead of making peace, he is telling people who are not strong to fight and die. there is nothing glorious about death.

when your big brother at home wants to beat you, because you did something wrong, or he feels you wronged him,
there is a way you speak to him to make him calm and stop. something like.
I know you're my big brother, you're bigger and stronger than me, we're family, we aren't supposed to be fighting each
other, what will our parents think, and don't forget when brother fight to the death, a stranger inherits their properties.
we are supposed to love each other if not for ourselves, for our parents and our family name. please calm down and tell
me where I went wrong so that I can learn from you and do better.

there is no big brother that you'll speak to like this that won't calm down. if he wanted to kill you, he might just slap you
and stop

e no go even slap you. He'll only warn you and ask you to behave.

Ukranians are stupid, honestly. Na dem go suffer am pass.

Even the bible admonishes a king to be wise when going into battle with a greater king.

"Or suppose a king is about to go to war against another king. Won’t he first sit down and consider whether he is able with ten thousand men to oppose the one coming against him with twenty thousand? If he is not able, he will send a delegation while the other is still a long way off and will ask for terms of peace" Luke 14:31-32

Kenog4real:
LOL.. I don't have to answer that but what gives the assurance the said 4yr old could read the words.?

My point exactly. You can hardly find anyone less that 6 years old who can read. So that sort of examination for a 4 year old is insane to say the list.

Kenog4real:
Paid a visit to my sister. She has 2 kids 4 and 6. They came back from school and brought out their assignments with their last term exam script. When I went through the 4yr old script, I was baffled to see the kind of questions they have written because it's more or less of a primary school standard. I was told they would be starting exams in few days time but they still came home with loads of assignments instead of allowing their parents to revise their previous class activities with them.
Not that the kids are not brilliant but I just feel the of that exam questions and some of their assignments are way higher than their reasoning.
Is it same with the school your kids attends.?

My brother, when you were 4 years old, could you read?
